Top progressive pol Sen. Bernie Sanders is breaking with his left-wing protégés over their calls to defund the police in the wake of the killing of Daunte Wright.

Speaking to CNN Wednesday, Sanders (I-Vt.) said he did not agree with Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) over her call for “no more policing, incarceration, and militarization” after the killing of Wright, a black man who died at the hands of a white police officer.

“No I don’t,” Sanders replied when asked if he concurred with his fellow progressive, who has been joined in her calls by fellow Squad members Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.).

Bolshevik Bernie knows the first thing Lenin did was find the sadistic police chief every totalitarian ruler needs in Felix Dzershinky. Totalitarianism = police state. And Bernie knows it.

Bernie doesn’t want to get rid of the police; he wants to nationalize them.

Bernie didnt get the memo. Defunding the police is about the LEFT taking over the police.

You have to destroy before you can build back “better”.

I’m sure Bernie had a little sweat above his brow and was unusually subdued in making his comments.

The weaker the police becomes, the more criminals will challenge them and the more likely confrontations will become deadly.
And of course there will be an increase in crime but who cares, only white-cop-on-black-perp counts.

Socialists are big on police, really big.

Somebody has to protect all of Bernie’s waterside condos in Vermont. Elites like Bernie need police to keep the riff raft away from him and his properties!

[is about the LEFT taking over the police.]

Seems like it.



Sure. This guy survived. The gun wouldn't fire.

Police defunding may not be the stupidest thing “the squad” has called for but it’s gotta be in the top ten.

If AOC and her squid want to ‘ban cops’ then let them lead the way by forcing Princess Pelosi to fire the entire Capitol Police Force that guards them and banish the organization.

RE: scene from film version of holocaust incident:

It took me much of my life to accept the police after some incidents in my youth.

If my total respect goes back to vigilantism then so be it.

Does God want us to pray and quietly die on our knees (anger is a sin, love thy neighbor, offer your cloak, turn your cheek....) or did He mean as in WWII for us to actively fight for good?

Discernment of that has been my task in daily Bible commentary study for many years.

For the world remaining when it happens, refuse the Mark of the Beast, get one’s head cut off, live in eternity with Jesus Christ forever.

Revelation 14 and Revelation 20:4 make this abundantly clear.

[frank ballenger]

Thank you.

[SaveFerris]

No need to thank me. It's an assignment given to me by the Lord. And to many others, obviously. See you in our Lord's eternal reign!

The world can have their Antichrist and their False Prophet and their Mark of the Beast (when all of that comes). We have tried to warn them. They laughed and they scoffed.
